Scott McGough RP | ATH
Diamondbacks' Scott McGough: Recalled by Arizona
The Diamondbacks recalled McGough from Triple-A Reno on Friday.
McGough made one appearance for the Diamondbacks on May 3 against the Phillies, but he's otherwise spent the 2025 season in Triple-A, where he's posted a 3.55 ERA, 1.56 WHIP and 16:4 K:BB across 12.2 innings. He'll provide depth out of Arizona's bullpen after Joe Mantiply was optioned to Reno in a corresponding move.

Amed Rosario 3B | NYY
Nationals' Amed Rosario: Recovering from laceration
Nationals manager Dave Martinez said Friday that Rosario is day-to-day after he suffered a left leg laceration when he ran into a table at the team's hotel, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.
Rosario needed stitches to close the wound and is likely unavailable off the bench Friday in Baltimore. He had drawn three straight starts, but with Luis Garcia back from paternity leave, Rosario's playing time was set to dip even before his injury.

Xavier Edwards 2B | MIA
Marlins' Xavier Edwards: Scratched with back tightness
Edwards was scratched from the lineup for Friday's game against the Rays due to back tightness, Isaac Azout of FishOnFirst.com reports.
Edwards has started all 42 games for the Marlins so far this season, but he'll be forced to the bench Friday due to the back issue. The 25-year-old should be considered day-to-day while Javier Sanoja steps in at shortstop for Miami.

Sean Manaea RP | NYM
Mets' Sean Manaea: Throwing bullpen session Tuesday
Manaea (oblique) is slated to throw another bullpen session Tuesday, Laura Albanese of Newsday reports.
Manaea resumed a throwing program in mid-April following a PRP injection and has progressed to throwing from the bump again. He shouldn't be far off from facing hitters and eventually going out on a rehab assignment, but no target date for either has been revealed by the Mets yet.

Frankie Montas RP | NYM
Mets' Frankie Montas: Cleared to face hitters
Montas (lat) will throw a live batting practice session Friday, Laura Albanese of Newsday reports.
It appears to be the first time Montas will face hitters since he went down with a high-grade right lat strain in mid-February. The right-hander would appear close to a rehab assignment if all goes well, and the Mets have previously pegged early June as a possible return for Montas.

Edward Cabrera SP | CHC
Marlins' Edward Cabrera: Pushed back with fingernail issue
Marlins manager Clayton McCullough said Friday that Cabrera's next start has been pushed back a few days due to fluid buildup in his fingernail area, Isaac Azout of FishOnFirst.com reports.
Cabrera's next turn had been scheduled to come up this weekend against the Rays, but he appears poised to take the ball early next week versus the Cubs instead, although McCullough didn't reveal the exact day for Cabrera's planned return. The righty has a history of fingernail/blister problems, but it appears at this juncture that this one will not require a stint on the 15-day injured list.

Moises Chace SP | PHI
Phillies' Moises Chace: Needs Tommy John surgery
Phillies manager Rob Thomson said Friday that Chace will undergo Tommy John surgery, Lochlahn March of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Chace made six starts with Double-A Reading this season before blowing out his elbow, collecting a 3.24 ERA and 19:12 K:BB over 16.2 innings. The 21-year-old will likely be sidelined until around midseason next year.

Taijuan Walker SP | LAA
Phillies' Taijuan Walker: Re-entering rotation
Walker will re-enter the Phillies rotation next week in Colorado in place of the injured Aaron Nola (ankle), Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.
The Phillies haven't revealed the exact day Walker will slot in, but he will receive at least a couple starts while Nola is sidelined. Walker pitched well in the rotation earlier this season, collecting a 2.54 ERA and 22:13 K:BB over 28.1 innings covering six starts. He has since made two long-relief appearances, allowing a total of three runs (two earned) over six innings.

Mick Abel P | MIN
Phillies' Mick Abel: Making MLB debut Sunday
The Phillies will call up Abel from Triple-A Lehigh Valley to start Sunday's game against the Pirates, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.
The right-hander will be called up for a spot start Sunday with Aaron Nola (ankle) landing on the injured list. Abel likely won't stick around in the majors, however, since Taijuan Walker will fill Nola's spot in the rotation next week in Colorado. Abel is one of the organization's top prospects and has a 2.53 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 51:19 K:BB across 46.1 innings at Triple-A Lehigh Valley this season.
